"The Bedford VAL is a type of coach chassis that was built by Bedford in the United Kingdom from the mid-1960s to the early 1970s. It was unusual at the time for its multi-axle design, in a \"chinese six\" wheelplan, i.e. with two front steering axles.Originally it was fitted with the Leyland O.400 straight six diesel engine."@en . . . .
